I have a hobie lynx and the antenna on the roof of my Toyota Highlander gets in the way when I load and unload the kayak on the roof. If I was taller than 5’4 it might not be an issue. I have the proper roof rails and cross bars. Any one solved this problem already?

THANKS!

How do I put a picture of it in this query?

Do you load from the side of the car? There are many options for roof racks and kayak loaders. https://www.asgautosports.com/?gclid=Cj ... bMQAvD_BwE

No i have been loading from the back. I may have come up with a solution using a foam roller positioned just behind the antenna with rope going through it. It is placed in the rear window and knotted inside the suv. If ir works I'll post a picture.

Thanks
